ftp and httpd permission

Hi OneNet,

I'm assuming you're using boa ... first check /etc/config/boa.conf ... the DocumentRoot

directive specifies the root directory for your files.

Relative path references that begin with ".." are generally a bad idea since there are some

parsing rules that can be confusing.

> but when I browse it , the path of the image is "http://192.168.1.3/var/1.bmp" (incorrect) !!!

Actually, the URL is correct ... it's just not what you expected or want. Basically, the leading "../" are

removed (sometimes referred to as "removing dot segments").

Yep, but you can make them the same if you want by changing DocumentRoot in the conf file.

> How can I get the correct path of the image (1.bmp) ?

Try using a softlink to the image file in your document root directory (I believe boa will blindly follow

a softlink) then get rid to the blasted "../.." and just use a simple relative path to the softlink like:

link_to_img.bmp

If you want to get the file back using FTP, connect to the server and dl it. If your client is using Passive mode, you will need to replace the "ls" that is included in the distribution with a symbolic link to the ls incuded in busybox. It works for some reason and the ls.exe does not.

If that is what you are after, and need more info, just let me know. If what you really want to do is through the web page, then I cant help.
